Pandanwh was a flamer, and didn't do himself any favours, but there are plenty of regulars who are also flamers. I'm not saying you went after him because he's new (I actually think you are probably the most welcoming regular poster), I'm saying you were given less of a hard time because he was new and you weren't. If it had been two new posters, your infraction would stand.
I'm sorry, but it is cliquey. How many of the new posters go straight into the barroom? How many of the new posters who do go in there get fucking slated by all?
That is emphatically true. I remember when I first came here, and everyone was posrting lists of facts about themselves. JPfizzle was trying to get people to do one, so I did, thinking it might introduce me to people. What actually happened is some people responded positively, and others said "only regulars can do this". So apparently, only regulars can make threads in the bar room. I have a thick skin, and I just ignored it, but it doesn't make people welcome.
You cannot honestly say to me that you have never seen a regular respond with "who are you?" or something of that nature to try and discredit someone who argues against them. That is emphatically cliquey.
For the record, I do wish to point out that you are not guilty of this yourself, and I reiterate that you are one of the most welcoming here, but you have benefited from these circumastances in this instance.
EDIT - Want to see cliquey? Look what people say in this thread.

2ND EDIT - Slyfox you have been called "the epitome of fairness", and your post in the thread I've posted emphasises this, but surely you accept that it is cliquey here?
